G161: Red Sox 11, Spiders 6

Victor Martinez hit his first career grand slam in the second inning. Dustin Pedroia hit a dong to lead off the first and Brian Anderson went deep in the third.

Beckett: 5-7-4-3-5, 98. After a very rough two innings -- poor control on both the fastball and curve -- he allowed only a single and a walk over the next three innings. Paul Byrd pitched three innings of relief, his first appearance out of the pen since June 2001.

Dusty Brown homered into the Monster Seats in the eighth inning. It was his first major league hit -- and he took a curtain call as the fans chanted "Dus-ty, Dus-ty!". Brown is the 24th player to homer for Boston this season, a new franchise record (23 players went deep in 1996).

I trust the iphone users here will rush right out and buy "Derek Jeter Real Baseball" lickety-split.

that's a licensing deal for ya. No MLB content except for his name and mug plastered on the game. sa-weet! Now if we could just have an in-game Youk wipe his brow between every pitch that'd be awesome.

Sorry to hear that Ish. I've had about the roughest 3 weeks I think so far. Lot of just plain stuff popping up now. Anniversary, High Holy Days, birthday, all in a row.As you said, can only get better.
